Driving a flooded street

**K.I.L.L.** · August 19th, 2013 10:53 AM

Rain has been pouring since yesterday. I already had to cross several flooded streets last night. The portion of SLEx in the southwoods area is underneath water. Nothing can cross. I hope you all aren't stuck somewhere.

Ngat lalu na ngayon panahon ng mga baha at bagyo. Be safe everyone!

lalakas na naman ang interior detailing ngayon. Mapupuno na naman ang mga car service centers sa dami ng binahang sasakyan.

Also, make sure na i rinse niyo ang underchasis ng mga cars niyo through underwash para hindi kalawangin ang mga leaf spring, shocks, bolts and ibang under parts ng sasakyan.

Keep safe!

Ayla

If in doubt wag ilusong ang sasakyan sa baha.

Fording your vehicle in floodwaters is also expensive as you are obliged to change most of the fluids (engine oil, tranny & diff oil, brake fluid, repack bearings, regrease ball joints, tie rod ends, U-joints, bushings, etc). This are the things you need to do if you want your vehicle to last. So if you can avoid a flooded street do so.....

Cheers

OT:

What is the SOP of gasoline stations that was submerge in flooded water? check ba muna nila bago sila mag operate kung hindi contaminated fuel nila? and as motorist, is it rightful to avoid those gas stations that we know that are in flood prone areas?

i do not know what their sop is. and i am not sure if they follow it in the first place. but it is only logical to avoid gas stations that are suspected of having gone under in a flood.. kaya ako, mabibilang mo sa isang kamay ang mga gasolinahang pinupuntahan ko..
